NEW THING – Machine Binding – Ann Smith NYE Mystery Quilt and Chicks, Checks, and Cherries Quilt Finished

Machine Binding
I tried something new today – a NEW THING – and something that I vowed that I would NEVER DO (never say never!!) I sewed a binding on a quilt by machine. WHY DID I DO IT?
Well, to tell you the truth, I really didn’t want to spend time holding this quilt in my hands because it is covered with butterflies (BUGS) and there are butterflies quilted into the quilt….so it just seemed like the right time to try it. :):) LOL
I was pretty happy with the whole process, to tell you the truth. I just machine stitched the binding onto the WRONG SIDE of the quilt – then folded the binding over to the RIGHT SIDE of the quilt and used a SHELL STITCH to anchor it!
The quilt is an Ann Smith NYE 2009 Mystery ! This will be donated to the Country Piecemaker’s ICU project…..Sara Parrish did the expert quilting!!! Here is a picture with Grandangel Leanna’s feet!

And I am happy to say that my Chicks, Checks and Cherries Quilt is finished too. This was a block exchange – Marla, Sheddy, Pam, Susan, and sao made the blocks. I just finished sewing buttons on the chickens for eyes and finished the binding tonight!

And in my spare time, I finished 5 PJ bottoms…………I am SO GLAD to get this off my TO DO list. LOL. I took some pictures – I used existing PJs to make patterns. YEAH FOR CROSSING THINGS OFF LISTS!!!

Now there was only one problem – and I think Christi gave me Cooper’s SISTER’s pants for a pattern because COOPER’S PANTS ARE TOO LONG….ok – I fixed them by making cuffs!!! Too Funny!
Cooper's Pants are TOOOOOOOO LONG - what is up with that!!!!
